In To Save Heaven and Earth, Jennie E. Burnet considers people who risked their lives in the 1994 Rwandan genocide of Tutsi to try and save those targeted for killing. Many genocide perpetrators were not motivated by political ideology, ethnic hatred, or prejudice. By shifting away from these classic typologies of genocide studies and focusing instead on hundreds of thousands of discrete acts that unfold over time, Burnet highlights the ways that complex decisions and behaviors emerge in the social, political, and economic processes that constitute a genocide.
To Save Heaven and Earth explores external factors, such as geography, local power dynamics, and genocide timelines, as well as the internal states of mind and motivations of those who effected rescues. Framed within the interdisciplinary scholarship of genocide studies and rooted in cultural anthropology methodologies, this book presents stories of heroism and of the good done amid the evil of a genocide that nearly annihilated Rwandan Tutsi and decimated the Hutu and Twa who were opposed to the slaughter.

Описание: A Wall Street Journal Best Mystery A GUARDIAN BEST CRIME BOOK AND THRILLER Longlisted for the Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year AwardThe Accident on the A35 returns to the scene of Burnet's accomplished first novel, The Disappearance of Ad le Bedeau: the small French town of Saint-Louis. Detective Gorski is called away from his night of solitary drinking to the site of a car accident that left Bertrand Barthelme, a respected solicitor, dead. When the deceased's rather attractive wife suggests that the crash may not have been an accident, Gorski looks closer into Barthelme's circumspect movements on the night of his death. His investigation leads him to various bars, hotels, and brothels in the nearby city of Strasbourg. At the same time, Barthelme's rebellious son, drunk on Jean Paul Sartre novels, is conducting an investigation of his own. Their independent, dual inquiries lead the reader down a twisted road marked by seedy back rooms, bar brawls, a moment of accidental incest, and--as we have come to expect from Burnet--copious amounts of wine. The Accident on the A35 is a darkly humorous, subtle, and sophisticated novel that burrows into the psyches of its characters and explores the dark corners of life in a sleepy town.

Looking back through the window of our tour bus at the moor, where thousands had fought a better equipped military, left me with a very eerie feeling. This battle had killed over 2000 Jacobites that day with another 500 or more killed in pursuit. Later I found out that 700 of those taken prisoner had been executed or died in prisons, with almost another 800 more loaded onto prison ships and transported to the colonies.
These actions must have been a major horror and terror these brave Scottish Jacobites felt that day as they lay wounded and dying, to the fading sounds of the bagpipes, while gasping their last breaths.
